License. No person shall conduct a yard sale, garage

of Worcester without first obtaining a license from the Board, except that
no Township license is required by a person having a current auctioneer's
license form the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Application. For the purpose of this chapter, any person
desiring to secure a license to conduct a yard sale, garage sale or auction
shall at least two weeks prior to the time and date set for the sale or auction
execute with the Township Offices an application to issue the license and
pay the fee aforesaid.

Application under oath. The person requesting said license
and executing said application shall affix his or her signature, under oath,
swearing or affirming that the facts set forth therein are true and correct.

Payment of license fee. The payment of the license fee
shall be due at the time the application is filed with the Township and shall
be due and payable for the purpose of processing the application, irrespective
of the granting or denial of the license.

Limitation of license. No person licensed under this
chapter shall conduct more than one yard sale, garage sale or auction on a
specific property within residentially zoned districts in Worcester Township
during any calendar year. Each day that a sale is conducted shall be considered
and counted as a separate sale.

In the event of inclement weather, or for some other reason the sale
or auction shall be canceled on the day upon which it was to occur, for an
additional fee, in an amount as set forth in the Fee Schedule,[1] paid to the Treasurer of the Township, the sale or auction can
be rescheduled at the option of the license holder.

No license issued by the Board shall be transferable by the licensee
to any other person, nor shall the place of the sale or auction be changed
without cancellation of the license and issuance of a new license, upon application,
to the new location.

In the event that any licensee proposes to post signs
or handbills with Worcester Township to advertise the sale or auction, said
licensee shall, in addition to the licensing fee filed aforesaid, also post
with the Treasurer of Worcester Township, cash or other surety in the sum
as set forth in the Fee Schedule,[1] which sum shall be returned to licensee as soon as the Township,
through its duly directed employee aforesaid, is satisfied that the handbills
and/or signs have been removed from the place or places where posted.

Place of placement. No handbills or signs shall be placed
upon private property of another without written consent having first been
had or secured and no sign or handbill may be posted upon the private property
of another on more than one occasion per year.

List of locations. In the event that signs or handbills
are employed by the licensee or placed by the licensee or on his behalf, simultaneously
with the execution of the application for license and payment of the license
fee the licensee shall provide a list of all locations within Worcester Township
where the handbills or signs were placed.

Penalty. Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof by summary proceeding, be sentenced as provided in Chapter 1, Article II, General Penalty; provided, however, that each day's violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall constitute a separate offense.

Equity. In addition to the penalty provisions aforesaid,
nothing herein contained shall preclude the Board of Supervisors of Worcester
Township from commencing, in the name of Worcester Township, an action within
the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, or such other court as may
be deemed appropriate seeking to enjoin any person from violating the terms
of this chapter or any portion thereof or seeking to abate a nuisance.

In the case of all other ordinances of Worcester Township, with the exception of Chapter 150, Zoning, where there is determined to be a conflict between this chapter and other ordinances by any court of competent jurisdiction this chapter shall prevail and be controlling.
